Of all Futurama's voice actors, Billy West is perhaps the one most willing to shout out his love for the show. As such, he was the crew member who spoke out most of the possibilities of Futurama's return for a second run, during much of Spring,2009.

He stated he would almost be crushed if he could not be able to continue on the show, and stated that Futurama was the best gig he ever had.[1]
